The Dirt #34 – Hood + House

What a butt, right? Anyway, I’d like to thank you all for your feedback on the recent Dirts that we’ve been putting up in past weeks. We know you guys all love your free music, but we also want to make you all aware of great new tracks that big time artists are playing out that you may not have heard of before. Therefore, we will be keeping The Dirt to tracks available for download, zipped up tight for your bulky pleasure. In addition, we will be starting up a new Artist Chart-type feature where artists will throw us 10-15 tracks that they’re fond of. Not sure what to name it yet, so if you guys have any ideas feel free to comment below. We’d love to hear your input.

This week, Troy Kurtz and I decided to do a double-team Dirt for you guys. Each of us took a completely different take on these tunes, so don’t be surprised that his 6 have absolutely no relation to my 6. TK has used his recent trip to ATL as an inspiration, and I just felt like it was necessary to go with some of the bigger House tracks that have been in heavy rotation since last Monday. Let us know what you think! Tunes after the jump.

Ace Hood – Hustle Hard (Spinstyles Remix) DJ Khaled picked up Ace Hood in 2007 and has been on beats with Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and T-Pain, but this hood anthem is my favorite from him. Spinstyles added the dubstep muscle that makes this remix flex.

Blatta & Inesha – Basso Grasso (Original Mix) The Italian duo known previously for their Electro prowess have gone with a big Techno infused track with this release on Freakz Me Out Records. Keep your eyes out for a B&I North American tour this summer!

Deadmau5 – Raise Your Weapon (Madeon Extended Remix) [Beatport] I’m so glad the remixes have finally surfaced for this track. After being completely blown away by Joel’s original, the teenage producer from Nantes stepped it up to a higher level with this extremely well-made remix.
